4.2.1
Rigging
1.
Execute the inspection prior to rigging according to section 4.3 A.
2.
Clean and grease all pins and bushes and all 4 automatic control system
connectors.
3.
Open the canopy.
4.
Set the airbrake handle to the forward stop and control stick and wingflap
handle to neutral.
Always rig inner wings without 15 m or 18 m tips.
With a helper on the wingtip, push the left wing into place, then the right
wing.
Check for correct dihedral. The flaperons should be held at neutral for
rigging, airbrakes locked. All controls will hook up automatically.
Caution:
Make sure that the wing trailing edge is at the same height as its
counterpart at the fuselage before the controls hook up. Otherwise a ball bearing
of a control hook up bellcrank (mounted at the wing root) may knock against
the fuselage-side control and will be damaged.
Sight through the wing main pin bushings to determine alignment. Push the
main pins in as far as possible. Turn one handle after the other up to the
fuselage wall, while pulling out the white securing knob, then release the
knob back to its locked position. Check the securing.
5.
Insert the wing tip extensions (18 m) into the wing.
Press in the locking pin with your finger.
Insert the wing tip until the flaperon connecting pins start to slide into the
centre-flaperon bushes.
Strike firmly with the palm of your hand on to the wing tip to lock the wing
tip extension.
The rigging of the 15 m wingtips (Option) has to be done in the same
manner as the wing tip extensions.
6.
Check if you are safe to fly with the fin battery (see Data Placard in cockpit
or entries in section 6). Insert the battery into place. Connect battery to the
aircraft electric system and check operation.
